They might actually build something that appeals to people under 70 years old now. Or jut throw a GM crate engine in 'em.

Interesting our good friend Josh Dowling sees this as being a sign of the impending death of HSV: http://www.news.com.au/business/comp...-1226653032313
Coming soon: a limited edition caravan which will be so rare, exclusive and expensive that it will just be kept in a garage. And does this mean we'll see Jayco with a slogan of "I just pulled one"? |

you can't blame the guy for looking out for himself the same as car makers,
It makes sense the commy being retired for a global import(ford too)sadly, i've said it before why would you continue banging your head against the wall trying to build cars and make a dollar in such a hostile business environment as Australia. |

I dare say that moving to Jayco would be a positive career step for him.

Heres hoping he can improve the finish quality on Jayco campers, looking at their range at the camping show last weekend it was very disappointing seeing the overall quality vs others in the same price range.
